NEWARK, N.J. (AP) -Ilya Kovalchuk made his first goal with the slumping Devils a big one, snapping a third-period tie to lead New Jersey to a 5-2 victory over the Nashville Predators on Friday night.

Acquired in a blockbuster trade with Atlanta last week, Kovalchuk took a pass from Patrik Elias and beat Nashville goalie Pekka Rinne with a snap shot from between the circles at 8:24 of the final period.

PHILADELPHIA (AP) - Jeff Carter scored his 25th and 26th goals, and Michael Leighton made 31 saves to help Philadelphia win its third straight game.

After Carter scored late in the first period and early in the second, Matt Carle made it 3-0 at 3:17 of the second. Montreal's Glen Metropolit and Dominic Moore made it close, scoring in a 56-second span early in the third period.
